This fifth edition of Exploring Vancouver brings the city's architectural and social story entirely up to date.

Ten tours highlight significant buildings from all eras of the city and its metro region, including new projects that are transforming the skyline more radically than ever before.

Harold Kalman and Robin Ward, both longtime chroniclers of Vancouver in evolution, describe the city's extraordinary urban environment, its buildings, monuments and landscapes. This highly readable text explains how the city was created, by whom and why, including the important roles of Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations in the narrative.
